I stayed up all night Sunday because I was too worried that I wouldn't wake up in time to catch an 8 AM bus. Sometimes if I stay up too late due to lack of discipline (often spent inside, on the pc) and decide it would just be easier/less risky to stay awake until whatever I have to do.

Sometimes I cheat with amphetamines, but the past few times it's been just caffeine.

That picture somewhat reminds me of Wagon wheels. Everyone in our elementary school would trade endless amounts of candy, create-a-pizza kits, and shitty overpriced pop (Chubby ) to obtain them. I had one for the first time in years the other day, and all I could think about while eating it was how dry it was...

I've never had Twinkies, either; due to pop culture exposure, I was always planning to, just to see what the fuss is about... Oh, well.

I tend to go without sleep quite a bit; I always leave uni assignments to the last minute (and, now, marking thereof), so I'd pull an all-nighter for almost every paper... Honestly, not that bad, though I find I get really depressed at 4:30 every single time - at that minute, I suddenly feel truly awful; passes at about 5. No idea why. My record is probably around 96 hours without sleep; not recommended, though - at that stage, the patterns in my curtains and carpet appeared to move, which was entertaining until they started spinning in opposite directions and made me somewhat nauseous. My sleep patterns have been fucked up since high school anyway, though; I rarely ever get to bed before 3 these days, and if I have nowhere to be for a few days that shifts to 4. Eh. I am nocturnal. And rambling.

A track review for Timeghoul's Boiling in the hour glass, in a thread for another forum I post at:

"Timeghoul - Boiling in the Hourglass. Oddly atmospheric death metal. I feel like I'm being judged. In outer space. Like a musical space opera. With the cast of Planet of the Apes. The gorillas are not happy with democracy. Space-y solo, bro. This ghoul must travel through time. And in that case, that solo is kinda like when the guys on Wayne's World go doodaloo doodaloo doodaloo. Chant chant chant growl growl growl. Widdle widdle. This song is long. This won't ever end. Oh my god this blows. 1/10 "

Thing is, Suicide Silence actually are more sonically massive than a good 95% of all the death metal bands in the Archives! Not metal, sure, but definitely a lot more brutal.

The cheap, industrially produced chocolates, cakes, cookies etc. never taste as good when you've grown up as they did when you were a kid. A lot if it has to with growing up i.e. developing more taste for things that aren't sweet, but also finding out better things and becoming more discerning and giving more thought to the thing as well as also to things like mouthfeel and how moist or dry the thing is. Pulla (a Finnish sweet bun) never lost that appeal for me though. Then again, that's the home-made stuff, not the industrial crap.

I'm getting some Hostess products from an American friend. Twinkies are not the best thing they made, but I'm getting far superior HoHo's and Zingers. I'm looking forward to the deliciousness...that I will not sell on eBay.

Twinkies are decent at best and some other snack company (Little Debbie) is going to buy the recipe anyway so it's not like they'll be gone forever... and even if they are the Ding Dongs, Ho Hos, and chocolate Donettes are a much greater loss.

And fuck yes, Bezerko. Insect Warfare is appropriate for all times of the day, have listened to them early as shit on my way to work many many times. Not a full length but the Endless Execution Thru Violent Restitution cd they put out a while back is a compilation of a lot of their earlier splits and functions pretty close to a full length so pick that up if you haven't. Also, if you don't have their split with Carcass Grinder then get on it, their best jams imo.

I have like 10 cheap CDs in my trade list that I bought like a year ago that are just a bunch of worthless reissues or stuff I don't care for anymore. Do you think I'd have any luck just selling them on ebay in a lot for even half the amount I purchased them for? I kind of just want to get rid of them, but I wouldn't want to feel like I was throwing away money. They've gotta be worth something to someone.

I feel like I've become so much smarter about choosing carefully what I want to buy instead of just being like, hurr I wanna have that cheap shit CD because it's cool. When having some things that aren't worth having has now made me feel very uncomfortable.

I got rid of all those once. I was left with about 20 or so cds and a Russian copy of Hammerheart. In retrospect I'm kind of displeased with myself as I got rid of them for dirt cheap; but I mean it's not like I listen to much AC/DC, Led Zeppelin and what not these days .
